Aged Cheeses

Aged cheese like Parmesan and cheddar can trigger headaches because they contain an
amino acid called tyramine. Tyramine forms when protein breaks down in foods as they age.
When those with tyramine sensitivities eat foods containing it, conditions like heart
palpitations, nausea, vomiting and dangerously high blood pressure can occur. It causes
headaches, particularly the variety called migraines. In addition to Parmesan and cheddar,
those prone to headaches should avoid brie, blue cheese, Swiss cheese, Stilton, Roquefort,
mozzarella, Emmentaler, Gouda, provolone and American cheeses. Eating low-fat processed

Chocolate

Chocolate can trigger headaches for those sensitive to caeine and tyramine. The Center for
Science in the Public Interest website lists 1.45 oz. of some dark chocolate as a high-caeine
food, containing 31mg. A 1.55 oz. bar of milk chocolate may contain approximately 9mg of
caeine. This stimulant should be limited to 300mg per day for normal adults, but those who
are sensitive to caeine may need to consume far less to avoid triggering headaches. The
National Headache Foundation website reveals that most people experience the eects of
caeine, including the caeine in chocolate, within 30 minutes of ingesting it. Withdrawal
from caeine may also trigger headaches, but chocolate and other foods that contain caeine
must be eaten daily, amounting to at least 15g over the course of a month to get to the point
where a person will experience withdrawal.

There is some evidence to indicate that chocolate may not cause headaches. Evidence
presented at the 2009 International Headache Congress suggests that diets enriched with
cocoa may prevent headaches.

Nuts

The National Headache Foundation indicates that all nuts, including peanuts, pumpkin seeds,
sesame seeds, walnuts and pecans can trigger headaches. Nuts contain high levels of
tyramine. Foods made from nuts, like peanut butter, may also be problematic for those
sensitive to this amino acid. The Migraine Headaches & Treatments website indicates that
nuts contain chemicals called vaso-active amines, which enlarge blood vessels and cause
them to press on nerves. This can trigger migraines and other headaches.

Pain or discomfort in the head or scalp is a common condition that is o en related to stress,
anxiety, injury or depression. Certain infections, lack of sleep or food, alcohol, street drugs,
and overworking are some of the other common factors that may lead to headaches. In fact,
headaches can be classified into several types, such as cluster headaches, sinus headaches,
migraines and tension headaches, based on their frequency, area, severity and cause.
Over-the-counter pain medications may help manage the condition along with natural herbs
and supplements such as celery.

Celery and Its Supplements

Celery, or Apium graveolens, is a slender, tall plant with segmented leaves and small, white
flowers. Small, brown and tan seeds, found in the flowers of the plant, contain volatile oils,
flavonoids and other chemical compounds that are responsible for its biological activity.
Celery products are available as fresh or dried seeds, tablets, capsules, seed oils, juice and
extracts, and have been used in Oriental medicine to treat a variety of conditions including
gout and rheumatoid arthritis.

Link between Celery and Headache

Tinctures prepared from celery seeds can help relieve headaches that last all day and increase
when eating and in open air, according to Dr. Timothy Field Allen, author of the book
"Handbook of Materia Medica and Homeopathic Therapeutics." The author also recommends
celery seed tinctures to treat sharp headaches over the eye and temple area that last all night,
and for throbbing aches in the temple. Paul Pitchford, in his book "Healing with Whole
Foods," recommends celery juice combined with lemon juice to treat headaches caused by
high blood pressure and excessive heat. Celery can also help relieve throbbing headaches,
sunken eyeball feeling and lack of sleep due to thinking, which may aggravate the headache,
says Dr. William Boericke in the book "Pocket Manual of Homeopathic Materia Medica."

Side Eects

Celery products are safe to use in the general population, although allergic reactions
including rash and shortness of breath may sometimes occur. However, the University of
Maryland Medical Center warns pregnant women against the use of these supplements as
they may lead to uterine bleeding, contractions and miscarriage. The herb should also be
avoided by individuals with kidney inflammation. Celery may also interfere with certain
blood-thinning and diuretic medications.

Precautions

Always talk to a doctor before using celery products to determine if they are right for you.
Never take celery seeds from the garden packet as they are treated with harmful chemicals.
Also, the production of herbal supplements in the U.S. is not regulated by the Food and Drug
Administration. Ensure the safety and purity of the product before taking.
